The instructions only ever covered the weather. They are now four pages:
what you decide, how signs and spoilage work, what the sky does, and
what the street does - the fair and the rival included, with each
condition named and what it does to your day spelled out.
Every passage that was reproduced from the original has been rewritten:
the welcome, the ledger heading, the thunderstorm, the road works, the
heat wave, the bankruptcy line and the cost announcements. A project
released under copyleft has no business licensing words it did not
write, and now it does not have to. NOTICE.md records what changed and
why, and narrows the borrowed material to the town's name and the
ledger's labels - neither of which is a copyright question.
Shortening the ledger heading also fixes the pill that was wrapping to
two lines in the remaster.
Checked in both skins: all four pages fit the tube at full size, with
room to spare.
Faithful day loop - weather report, cost of lemonade rising over the
summer, glasses/signs/price decisions, thunderstorms, heat waves and
street crews - with the $$ LEMONSVILLE DAILY FINANCIAL REPORT $$ laid
out the way it printed.
The simulation is kept out of React so a season can be run headlessly:
a careful player compounds $2.00 into roughly $22 over twelve days,
while an all-in player goes broke about seven times in ten.
Weather scenes are pixel rectangles in SVG and the music is a small
chiptune engine on the Web Audio API, so there are no binary assets.
The screen is locked to a 4:3 tube and never scrolls.
